When EQUITY_DAILY_BAR_SOURCE_FROM_MINUTE is set, use
EQUITY_MINUTE_BAR_LOOKBACK_DAYS as the default value for
EQUITY_DAILY_BAR_LOOKBACK_DAYS.
Without this, trying to run a minutely backtest in a test setting only
EQUITY_MINUTE_BAR_LOOKBACK_DAYS and EQUITY_DAILY_BAR_SOURCE_FROM_MINUTE
fails because the benchmark creation process makes a daily history call
for the entire period of the backtest, which then fails because the
equity daily bar calendar is shorter than the equity minute bar
calendar.
I can't imagine a circumstance in which you'd want the daily bar
calendar to be shorter than the minute bar calendar when you're sourcing
daily bars from minutes, so this change makes that the default behavior
unless it's explicitly overridden.
To support contracts such as `PL` which should roll from F->J->N->V, add the
ability to pass a predicate function to the ordered contract chain contstrution
which returns `True` if the contract is allowed in the chain.
To support using a `DataPortal` and `HistoryLoader` in a notebook, allow
the prefetch length to be configurable, so that it can be set to 0.
Unlike backtesting where the prefetch is useful for repeated history
windows viewed from datetimes which are monotonically increasing by a
small amount, the notebook usage of history windows needs only to
retrieve the exact data needed for the window specified.
This patch also fixes some boundary conditions related to rolls and
adjustments which were uncovered by querying for the adjustments with an
end date near the end of the window.
The minute to session sampling reading was creating two DataFrame
objects, the first to hold the minute data, and then a second returned
by the `DataFrame.groupby` to sample down to sessions.
Instead use the arrays returned by the minute readers `load_raw_arrays`
and implement sampling logic which takes advantage that the minutes
being passed start with the first minute of the first session and end
with the last minute of the last session.
On my machine this takes the tests in `test/test_continuous_futures`
from ~4.0 to about ~0.1 seconds.
Enable unadjusted history for continuous futures.
The history array is filled by the values for the underlying contracts,
where the contract used changes based on rolls.
e.g., if a `1d` history window was over the range
`2016-01-20` -> `2016-02-29` with contracts with a suffix of `F16` that
rolls at the beginning of the session on `2016-01-26`, `G16` on
`2016-02-26`, and `H16` on `2016-03-26`. The `2016-01-20` ->
`2016-01-25` portion would use the values for `F16', the `2016-01-26` ->
`2016-02-25` portion would use `G16` and the `2016-02-26` ->
`2016-02-29` portion would use `H16`.
Using the same contracts as above, a `1m` history window over the range
(using a timezone of US/Eastern) `2016-01-25 4:00PM` -> `2016-01-25
7:00PM` would fill the `4:00PM` -> `6:00PM` portion with data for `F16`
and the `6:01PM` -> `7:00PM` portion with data for `G16`, since the
beginning of the `2016-01-26` session is `2016-01-25 6:01PM`.
Supports `1d` and `1m`.
Also adds the `sid` field to `history` to assist in showing the active
contract at each dt in the window.
This allows optionally setting the last available dts in the DataPortal
explicitly. If these args aren't provided, we fall back to inferring
these from the underlying readers, which was the previous behavior.
Introducing a WithCreateBarData fixture which allows for the
creation of a BarData using only the `simulation_dt_func` and
`restrictions` params. Assumes that each suite uses the same
`data_portal`, `data_frequency` and `trading_calendar`
Use the equity calendar to write equity data, even when the simulation
calendar has been set to a different calendar.
Discovered when writing a test that used a calendar for future asset
data, but also wrote equity data.
* First pass.
* Improvements and fixes
- Update usages of BcolzMinuteBarWriter
- Updates with rebuilt example data
- Expose calendar from BcolzMinuteBarMetadata instead of calendar_name
- Keep market_opens and market_closes in metadata for compatibility
* Store start_session and end_session in minute bcolz metadata
- start_session replaces first_trading_day
- Add end_session to limit to correct days
* For last_available_dt, get last close from calendar to maintain tz
* Bumps version and handles earlier versionson read
* Rebuilt example data on python 3
* Indicate metadata fields that are deprecated
Implement a `SessionBarReader` which uses a minute bar reader as a
backing source, resampling the minute bars into the box around the
corresponding session data.
Also, add future/CME test cases to resample suite.
Change the mock minute data to no longer use an increasing arange, so
that a days worth of minute data can be summed and fit inside of a
uint32.
This change was required because of working on new test data that looked
like [0, 100, 200, 0, ] which was resulting in a daily rollup of 0 data,
when the coverage needed a non-0 value.
Also, factor out the resampling function, with an eye on a making it
easier to convert from minute bars to daily bars during ingest/load
processes.
When adding fixtures for futures data, there will be a need for multiple
calendars in the fixture ecosystem. e.g. a test that includes both
equities and futures would need an overall calendar which encompasses
both equities and futures; however, the test data for equities should
still still be limited to the bounds set by the NYSE calendar.
Make the fixtures that setup trading calendars and values dervied from
the trading calendar (e.g. trading sessions) accept an iterable of
calendars which need to be created, then populate those values into a
dict keyed by the calendar name.
Change `WithNYSETradingDays` to include sessions in the name,
since we are moving to session as the name for the 'day' unit.
Provide `trading_days` which is really "NYSE trading sessions` on
`WithTradingSessions` for backwards compatibility.
is backwards-compatible with the previous format.
In USEquityLoader, use dailyreader's trading_calendar.
This is backwards compatible and will fall back to the NYSE calendar if
the reader doesn’t have a calendar specified.
Instead of having separate ExchangeCalendar and TradingSchedule objects, we
now just have TradingCalendar. The TradingCalendar keeps track of each
session (defined as a contiguous set of minutes between an open and a close).
It's also responsible for handling the grouping logic of any given minute
to its containing session, or the next/previous session if it's not a market
minute for the given calendar.
In preparation of adding futures, add equity to the names of both the
classes and methods for writing bcolz data. Futures data will use a
different minutes per day with a separate reader. This change will allow
both equity and futures fixtures to be side by side.
Also, break out the method which generates the dataframes and trading
days member into fixtures (`EquityMinuteBarData` and
`EquityDailyBarData`) on which the `*BarReader` fixture depends. This
fixture is separated out to enable reader/writers in different formats
to use the same data setup. (There is internal code which needs to write
minute and daily bar data in a database format.)
To support testing configurations which need control over the full path
to the asset, adjustment, and equity bcolz directories; which is
required by some of our internal testing which exercises servers which
coordinate these files via a date slug in the full path.
Also, by allowing customization of the full path, it is now possible to
have the AssetFinder and AdjustmentReader sqlite databases be written to
disk, which is also required for our server testing setup.
- Refactored EventsLoader and BlazeEventsLoader to not require a
subclass per dataset. Instead, you now pass a map from columns to
event fields directly to the EventsLoader constructor.
- Removed a large number of Quantopian-specific datasets and associated
tests.
- Rewrote the core logic of EventsLoader and BlazeEventsLoader to share
index calculations across multiple requested columns.
- Fixed a bug where event fields were incorrectly forward-filled when
null values were present in an event.
Since the first trading day is now passed directly to the DataPortal on
init, there's no need for a method that does this. Moves all the
additional logic/assignments into the init. Also corrects an issue where
we would never create certain attributes if self._first_trading_day was
None.
Adds the ability to specify the first trading day for a data portal in a
test case when using the WithDataPortal fixture.
Instead of inferring it from the minute/daily writer, we now require the
first trading day to be passed explicitly, so the creator of the
DataPortal controls what is used as the first trading day.
Allow `WithBcolzDailyBarData` to opt-in to reading data defined by
`WithBcolzMinuteBarData`, so that the daily and minute test for the same
asset and dts correlate between the two readers.
The correlation is relevant for history tests which blend daily and
minute data.
Also, make the test data for the split and mergers assets in the minute
suite align at the thousands place if the adjustmets are applied
correctly, by starting the prices with a base of 4000 and then halving
the start value each day.
STY: remove unused imports
MAINT: change dtype to object for compatibility with python3
MAINT: rename pipeline columns and constants for clarity
MAINT: rename column
Updates the BcolzMinuteBarWriter.write api to allow users to pass their
data as a stream instead of requiring that they loop over their data
externally. This matches the API presented by BcolzDailyBarWriter.
